Extra Life

ayashiApparently I still haven't posted about this here which is super dumb.
My friend Sam has been participating in Extra Life for a few years now. I've always wanted to participate as well since a) it's for a great cause and b) it seems like it would also be pretty fun.
I've always helped out friends and my parents when they've done walks - for me that's something I'm happy to support but I haven't found something that I was ready to participate in yet. I thought this event was a great place for me to start!
On October 20th instead of doing a walk, I'll be doing a 24 hour video game marathon. All the proceeds go toward helping sick kids at my local Children's Miracle Network Hospital, kids who are going through cancer, cystic fibrosis, who have been hurt from accidents, etc.
Since it's just about one week away (I'll start my 24 hours when I wake up on the morning of the 20th) I'll probably be writing about it here for my next couple of entries. :)
I'll be tweeting through the event (@caitorait) and may try to stream my PC gaming, but will have to experiment with this during the week and see if it works out, since our internet isn't nearly as good as it was when Chris used to stream stuff back in Massachusetts.

Please consider donating, chatting to help keep me awake during the wee hours of the morning during the event, or just cheering me on :) Of course, if you already donated, thank you so much, you are the best! :D Thanks for reading!
